Human Celes wonders what ones deal is.

Apparently EG wasn't even worth watching to make fun of?

Eh, it wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't exactly as good as the regular show could be at its best either.

Thought that it had some good ideas and jokes, and wasn't essentially as horrible as people seemed to think that it was going to be, but it wasn't exactly hugely great either.

>>212178

watch t once but dont pay for it. it's meh at best.

>>212178
It was okay, not the best thing ever, had a few flaws. Maybe a lot of people are just waiting for a higher quality rip or something.

>>212178
>>212182
Yep. I'm waiting for the DVD/Blu-ray rips.

>>212178
As I said before, it's decent.
Not terrible, but no that remarkable either.
Still entertaining, though.

And it gave us the idea/joke of Twilight Sparkle:public nudist!
Which is good to me on so may levels.
Its funny, sexy, goofy and best of all, in character.
Fun times, in /pco/.

And its works for the others too!

Oh and I forgot to say it has much potential.
Also I have gotten my first pony toys.
They had blindbag on sale so ofcoure I picked up four of them.
And the first one I open was Apple Fritter who has my favourite colors~
Ah yeah!
Now if I could only find that apple family 3pack...
What wave is it in way?

>>212224
My problem is that is felt like a 2 parter episode, not a movie. The story stakes are rather low, the drama felt less intense than the pilot.

I remember in a chat on another site recently, someone was talking about how a lot of people were going to the movies this summer, but that all the movies that did well were shit. Someone else responded "Well, it's because there's no Brony movie out."

A) There is.
B) I don't see how they're even tangentially related.

>>212344
>all the movies that did well were shit

This is true and your friend is right. Kids like shit and will watch anything.

>>212348
He wasn't my friend, he was a random commenter, and he was talking about every movie that came out for every demographic this summer.

I don't think he was factoring in kids, to be honest. I think a lot of people I know just count how many adults went to go see anything. I've actually heard people say kids don't watch Friendship Is Magic. Just adults do.

>>212349
My bad, but yeah in general the masses like shit. I stopped paying attention to Pop Culture and Celebrities of the moment and such. I don't care about their work and only care about being entertained and that's it. As a result I feel very few movies are worth a glance.

Anyone else?

>>212342
Pretty much.

Shit, the original (made for TV) movie and first theatrical movie were better. And had better music.

Nothing can stop the Smooze.
Shoo be doo.

>>212342
On the other hand, most of the two-parters felt like movies.

>>212350
Something has to really go out of its way to hit a nerve for me for me to dislike it. The worst you'll usually hear from me is "That movie was average, I don't have a strong desire to see it again." A movie has to have such a blatant lack of shit given by absolutely everyone in who worked on it, or advocate hate speech, or hit a certain nerve to actually make me dislike it.

But every movie I saw this summer, I actually liked. Iron Man 3 (although I'm puzzled why people disliked the second one, it was my favorite of the three), Gatsby, and especially Man of Steel.

>>212411
IMO "average" doesn't cut it for movies. I just don't want to pay 12 bucks for a generic, by the numbers film. And the last time I heard about a "revolutionary" movie (James Cameron's Avatar) I was swindled.

After that I really stopped caring about Hollywood Cinema.

>>212414
Thing is, movies didn't become bad, you just grew up. Media is everywhere these days so you already witnesses all the experience the medium has to offer and now you feel like they aren't trying anymore, but in fact they were doing the same, you were just more ignorant.
Aiming for originality when you are an adult is stupid because everything has already be one.

>>212419
While it's true that a great many things have been done repeatedly, and there's something to be said for youthful naivete, but shrugging one's shoulders and giving up on originality, THAT is stupid. That way leads to nothing but stagnation. So long as people at least TRY for originality, they're keeping the waters moving, and every now and then something fresh actually comes of it.

>Everything has already been done.
Only everything people are willing to spend the money to make.

>>212426
Hence Fry from Futurama:

Old things bore people, new things make them feel stupid and afraid. People want the same tired old things forever.

I know I butchered the line, but there you go. It would be nice if refreshing ideas were actually rewarded.

>>212428
In case you were wondering about the proper quote, it's "Clever things make people feel stupid, and unexpected things make them feel scared."

>>212414
I agree and disagree. "Average" doesn't cut it anymore, unless all I wanted from the film was to have a good time, and it delivered on that. But I refuse to think nobody makes good films anymore. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder to find them, broaden your horizons a bit.

Honestly, I find most bronies that criticise the movie to be hypocrites, as most of the problems it has are shared by the show:

- "Cliché hurricane"? Try the vast overwhelming majority of the episodes

- Flat antagonist? Try every antagonist except maybe Discord and Nightmare Moon.

I do agree Flash Sntrey was unnecessary beisdes fanservice, though.

> Try every antagonist except maybe Discord and Nightmare Moon.
that's like, 2 out of 4.

>>212514
Well...there is Gilda, Trixie, Diamond dogs, dragons, Flim and Flam.

Trixie underwent some character development though, but that was mostly because they brought her back. I'd imagine the same could be said for Gilda, but I doubt that we'd ever be seeing her again.

>>212558
I was just listing antagonists. Trixie is the only non-flat one though.

>>212560
Yes, they had her grow as a character.

Grow into something utterly useless, since she's now no longer an antagonist.

>>212467
There's also not-really-even-trying-to-be-an-antagonist Iron Will.

The Brony Chronicles - A Docum…

Comic Con Season 4 My Little P…
Oh, cool!

>>213283
Well, time to shovel coal into the hype train. CHOO CHOO

>>213283
the show looks better hand drawn, it's kind of sad.

>>213295
So does Beware the Batman. So what's your point? Hand drawn will always be superior to flash and CG. The only reason we keep getting CG movies is because the masses of uneducated retards still see it as new, fresh, and trendy and somehow they see it as "mature" compared to 2D. Once the luster wears off and there is no distinction between the mediums and general masses see that, it is game over for the graphic whores.

Kind of like how gaming is reaching that point where better graphics mean dick shit. Just look at the PS4 which is a low end PC no less instead of the very notable best possible graphical jump it could be.

>>213298
CG is getting to the point of being cheaper than hand drawn, and flash always has been, so we will always continue to see the cheapest medium out there cus execs realized long ago that kids dont give a shit about quality

>>213300
>kids dont give a shit about quality

Don't remind me. But if CG is getting cheaper like you say, then how come it still looks like shit? Look at TMNT 2012 or Transformers Prime or Beware the Batman. The human characters are lanky and frankly kind of ugly and the animation leaves lots to be desired as they can't ever match the action in a CG film like Kung Fu Panda. 2D on the other hand can have some very nice action like the Red X episode of Teen Titans or the entire Avatar series. CG has a fuck ton long ass way to go before it is a true proper replacement for 2D animation. Nevermind that CG also sucks dick at creating environments filled with life and NPCs. The cities in Transformers, Beware the Batman, and TMNT are barren wastelands for the most part.

>>213295
Dunno, not digging the style on the CMC sequence much.

But damn, that NMM transformation sequence looks epic already.

>>213300
>CG is getting to the point of being cheaper than hand drawn

no it's not. because even though reusable assets should go toward it, the current competition toward better and better effects force any company who want to invest in CGI to pour money like crazy to not look "last gen" CGI still doesn't age well enough to let companies use the cheap tech.

>>213303
This and there are more studios nowadays that compete against Dreamworks and Disney like the upcoming Ratchet and Clank theatrical CG movie or Ice Age's studio. The competition to make the best CG animation drives up the costs something fierce.

Just because a stupid movie like Despicable Me can cash out with it being low budget doesn't mean its the standard at all (pfft and for a "low budget" it was still somewhat pricy for film standards).

>>213298
> Hand drawn will always be superior to flash and CG.
They are all only tools. The true quality comes from the people who use them properly.

> people who use them properly.
they are more than tools. The software are made in a way that they only really work for a limited set of things. CGI is especially limitating unless you can hire fucking engineers to add simple effects.

Anyway, PONIES.

The animatics were neat, but there's more.

EqG references... yeesh.

>>213311
This is true of most equipment. You need specialists to use them properly if you want a good result.

>Derpy will still continue to play a background role and it does not seem that she will have a large focus in any episodes.

I'm cool with that maybe have her running with The Doctor at some point in the background. Bonus if its Multiple Doctors. Done right I bet she could have entire implied episodes just being in the background.

No that wasn't a bad edit that statue moved because you blinked.

>My Little Pony is now airing in around 170 countries including Estonia.

When Pony ruled the world.

>>213454
problem with CGI and flash is that when you need things the product doesn't offer, you need programmers, not better artists. That's one of the last advantage of hand drawn imo. the cost from not folowing the railroaded way is less.

「空想アニメシリーズ…

>>213458
Well yeah. You can't use a mallet to sew a dress.

>>213458
part of that is why its good to have a couple of jack of all types on staff like old school game developers that could also write code aside from their other design work. They might not be able to construct a whole new flash program but their two fields of knowledge could help them utilize their given tools better.

MESIAS....what the hell was that? It was like someone smashed late 90's early 2000's western cartoons with Gundam. With a sprinkle of other cartoons from other eras, like the b&w clown that might have been from a Betty Boop cartoon.

I think it's the beginning of something glorious.
And yes, that's Koko the clown.

Major League Pong Gods 1080p
Major Leauge Pong Gods

Children of the Night

>>213552
This song is from the Disney movie Hocus Pocus and it was sang by Sara Jessica Parker's character (of all people in a Disney film). All in all the song and the original singer gives this video a hell of a negative connotation. In the movie Sara Jessica Parker enticed children to be sacrificed for for Bette Midler's potion of youth, but Sara Jessica Parker is famous for Sex and the City.

So all in all this video just makes Luna come off as a child abductor and child molester. So I had to thumb it down on principle. Nice animation though, superior to the show's and even better than Double Rainboom's.

>>213561
Actually small correction, Disney took the song Come Little Children from Edgar Alan Poe's poem, literally word for word.

>>213561
>child molester.
No clue where you got that from.

On the early stages of production, I just assumed it was gonna be about when she turned into Nightmare Moon with a bit of poetic license, but looks like they changed the connotation so she wouldn't even look bad for that.

So the fanbase still makes high quality vids, but is the fanbase kind of moving on and abandoning the pony mania? I don't blame them, the mediocre Season 3 eps and its atrocious finale and Equestria Girls smeared everything.

If there's one episode I will check out in Season 4 is the one obligatory for Discord because I'm still curious what Celestia planned with him after essentially neutering the character. God knows I hope it was worth raping the character with bad fanfiction writing (which it was based on fanfiction by a fanfic writer who just happened to have connections to the staff).

That aside, I no longer care much for this series.

>>213561
I thought Sarah Jessica Parker was famous for Buffy?

>>213571
You're thinking of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Next season: November 23rd.

>>213570
>So the fanbase still makes high quality vids
That was in production last year.

And there's probably less content from fans of the show, hiatus and all, but unfortunately the fans of the fandom are still on full steam I think.

>(which it was based on fanfiction by a fanfic writer who just happened to have connections to the staff).
Calling bullshit until any kind of source is given.

>>213552
I wish someone would dedicate a mini series of 3 or so minute long vids to King Sombra during this rule that has this level of quality animation. Nice way to make the evil king show off just how bad he is before he was sealed away.

>>213595
The 5 seconds in the show that showed him literally enslaving every crystal pony in a kingdom-long chain gang wasn't evil enough? Not sure how much more dark you can make it before it strikes too much of a contrast with the show.

Anyway, now that the 1080p Equstria Girls is out I finally watched it. Not as bad as I feared, about as good as I could realistically expect. Lots of the jokes made me laugh. There are tons of show episodes from all three seasons that were worse. 6/10.

I thought the movie was fine. I mean, it wasn't as good as the better episodes but it was watchable. Some good jokes, some pop songs, human Twilight acting like a horse and embarrassing herself in a charmingly goofy fashion. I definitely thought it was better than the cringe inducing season 3 finale, which people praised for some reason. My only real complaint would be to make Flash Sentry less generic cool dude. Couldn't they have made him a photographer or something so that the only plot relevant thing he did would make sense?

>>213600
Bitches love guitar players.

I'm just glad we don't have to suffer him in S4.

>>213612
Twilight could still get a nice healthy love interest in S4 to wreck bronies who waifu'd her. Even better if the guy is an aloof cool guy who somewhat treats Twilight badly.

Right at time for my birthday!
Not sure if that's a good thing though.

>>213613
I don't really want a romantic plot, since it could end being terribly cliche, even if it's just to wreck that crazy part of the bronies.
Ad the show has been doing it well without going into the obvious.

>>213647
>it could end being terribly cliche
Anything could be terribly cliche. If your only reason for being against a plot is that bad writers could handle it badly, then you should stop reading or watching anything at all.

>>213683
>Anything could be terribly cliche.
That could be debatable, like anything in life.
Also, doing the romance thing just to spite people it's just silly.

>>213685
Different anon, but I just think most love stories in general are shoehorned in. And I'd like to see a kids' show teach the lesson that you can be single and still be happy.

>>213683
A cliche romance can be one of the most cringe-inducing elements to a story. MLP is a ripe breeding ground for it. Caution is always advised.

>>213685
They wouldn't be doing it to spite anyone. That's just the guy that has a hateboner for anything Twilight related spouting bullshit.

My Little Pony in The Sims - E…
Has anyone played The Sims before?

>>213792
No. Nobody in human history has ever played The Sims until now.

>>213794
Well I, for one, never played any of the games, you know?

It's a trick question, since The Sims isn't a game to begin with!

This would be the perfect MLP game

You could also compare every other animation of a young girl dancing all the way back to Peanuts.

bobbing back and fourth while swinging your arms isn't terribly uncommon.

I think he's more complaining about the feet motions being the same.

>>213863
Not sure complaining is the right word.
I wouldn't doubt it's a homage. That opening was famous enough I think, and some of the animators are into anime.

>>213855
You guys notice the smallest things...

>>213866
Arm movements are extremely different. Honestly I'd just chalk this one up to there only being so many ways to animate meh dancing.

Oh dear.

>>213970
The article holds bronies in a far too high regard, but it seems pretty fair. Not sure why making a "defense" article though.

>"It has been suggested that bronies are a reaction to the fear instilled by 9/11 or the result of being the first generation raised by feminists, but it's likely that the answer is much simpler than that: Bronies are just people who enjoy MLP"
I had no idea someone had suggested that, but the article's answer is... well largely closer to the truth.
